i'd describe family guy as the simpsons for an older audience. my friend showed me a few episodes and i thought it was ace and led to me buying the box sets.
meet the Griffins: Peter Griffin - father of 3 children (meg, chris and stewie) husband of lois. fat, lazy, drinks and has a crap job never fails to make comments such "lois you're lucky, all the things you like doing - cooking and cleaning - are right here in the house waiting for you." and other equally funny and politically incorrect comments but he's anything but arrogant. Lois Pewterschmidt - Peter's wife. a house wife who looks after baby Stewie, teaches piano, cooks, cleans and does other errands. talks sense in to peter, or at least tries to. Meg Griffin - the teenage daughter. un-popular but never gives up trying to make friends with the cool kids, even if it means pretendng stewie is her crack addicted baby to get extra tips working as a waffle waitress to buy a Prada bag. Chris Griffin - the teenage son. fat and stupid but a great artist. believes almost any story, no matter how far fetched. Stewie - my favourite character. the one year old baby with aspirations of world domination and of course, killing lois with attemps from hiding a gun in his sandwich to handing her a box of active grenades (cunningly disguised as box of chocolates) he's never succeeded, Lois is still none the wiser. Brian - not just the family dog, easily the most polite/well mannered member of the Griffin family. well spoken and well educated, always the person peter turns to for advice.
there are so many hilarious episodes of family guy, my favourite is probably "kiss seen around the world" where meg and a geek from school who fances her kiss on television because meg thought she was going to die and stewie has his tricycle stolen by a bully. family guy has lots of spoofs of other tv series' and films and celebrity mickey taking. much cheaper per season, and much better than the simpsons.

cartoon family even more animated than usual. As MacFarlane himself noted, he was inspired to go for broke, thinking that the series--already juggled like a hot pota...
